All of the books in the Wyman Ford series have been only superficially linked; unlike Preston's Pendergast novels that he wrote with [a:Lincoln Child|11091|Lincoln Child|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1241119274p2/11091.jpg], there's absolutely nothing identifiable about Wyman Ford. He's just a very bland cardboard cutout to stick in each novel to give them some superficial connection. In fact, there really wasn't even any reason for Wyman Ford to exist in this book. The female software engineer that the book started with could have carried the whole thing herself. Just like in [b:Blasphemy|1234704|Blasphemy (Wyman Ford #2)|Douglas Preston|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388193329s/1234704.jpg|2498661], there's a tantalizing hint of something that might alter the future dropped near the end of the book, but I'm guessing that like before, we'll never hear about it ever again in future books.
